Default front and rear shock tower braces

Hello all,

I am new here.
I have an 04 EX 2.4L 5 speed Accord and am wondering if front and or rear shock tower braces make a noticeable improvement in handling. If you put one on the front, do you need one for the rear to maintain chassis balance?
Any answers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

with a suspension and sway bars, they definately make a difference. With a stock setup, you won't feel much. For immobile bars, you don't really need to do both at the same time.

Neuspeed bar would be your best bet. It's a 4-point bar without any flex points. They perform way better than generic ones.

I agree with falkore24 ,with good shock/springs combo or full coilover and a better set of swaybars. Add the upper strutbars front and back will give you way better handling than stock.

Yeah,

I'm looking at getting a Neuspeed strut-tower bar for the front, and a progress anti-sway bar for the rear.

That's going to go swell (yeah..... i said swell... get over it) with my Eibach + Koni setup
